[EVO 4G General] iiiiaann:
The Evo has been out for over a year, and is still on par with the newly released phones, and has the most recent software. You can root it any put any software you like on it, so there goes the two years argument because i guarantee next june the Evo will still be able to run the most recent updates and features, whether through official releases or custom ROMs (which btw you can't run on iOS).

There is absolutely nothing that an iPhone can do that any of the newer (and by newer i mean within a year or so, evo included) android phones cannot. Nothing at all. Look at it the other way, and it's a different story. Custom ROMs, kernels, launchers,

widgets

,

4G

, video chatting over 3G/4G, hardware options: physical keyboards, various screen sizes and phone shapes, features like 8 megapixel cameras, 1080p video recording, 3D video recording, kickstands, battery upgrades, fingerprint scanners, there is just so much more that android has to offer.

If you want to get sucked into apple's mind controlling dictatorship, be my guest, but an educated consumer would research the options and find that while the iPhone does have a lot to offer, android has much, much more, and if you don't want the same generic smartphone experience that comes with every iPhone, then there is just no comparison.

Also to consolidate phone recommendations from before, if you want a phone that is almost the same as the evo but a different carrier,

AT&T HTC Inspire

. If you want something a little bit smaller but newer and not on AT&T,

Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 2

. And if you want the newest technology, but no physical keyboard,

Verizon Samsung Galaxy S II

.

If I was in your situation I would get an iPhone. But that's what I'm interested in.
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
T mobile will have the most comparable rate prices. I would go with them if money is a concern. Get a sensation or an unlocked sgs2. You're story strikes me as odd. I have NEVER paid a deductible for a faulty device, only one that was physically damaged or lost.

As far as the iPhone goes, its a good device but not as perfect as people think; there are glitches and bugs and force closes and lags, despite what anyone says you will experience this if you get one. But, all phones have issues on occasion... Just something to keep in mind.

[EVO 4G General] BonkyMoon:
I would recommend the Nokia 1100. It's the most popular cell phone in the world.
[EVO 4G General] pulazki:
To clear up this argument right away

I DO NOT WANT AN IPHONE, I HATE THE IPHONE, THE IPHONE SUCKS

I AM ONLY INTERESTED IN ANDROID PHONES

:)

The Sprint rep online told me he would waive my $100 fee if i got the insurance phone, So i went ahead and did this, and just added the fee from the insurance company to my bill (which i haven't received yet) And as the other guy said, I DO have the entire conversation saved on my PC should i have any issues, I'm just saying that when i went to the Sprint store for another reason i asked him to verify the credit on his end and the guy basically called me a liar and said that Sprint would have never told me that... But I DO have proof i was told that, just saying what the Local rep said.. And further, that insurance phone broke in 2 days, so i took it back in and they told me i needed to take that up with the Insurance comapny, and i had to argue with them for over an hour before they decided to inspect my phone and issue me a new one(i did get this one free of cost, but i had to argue to get that) and now that phone that was given to me is broken (After 2 days.. and i only took it off the charger since i was given it for 1 hour and it died again, so there was DEFINITELY NO DAMAGE DONE BY ME)

Are there any other Sprint stores in your area? I am lucky here in Denver, there are two stores that are super cool and really helpful and nice, plus they'll service rooted phones. I should point out that neither is a corporate store though.
[EVO 4G General] salbanys:
i just reacently went to an evo with sprint service, i came from t mobile i had a no contract plan unlimited everything for $70 dollars a month. I had a samsung galaxy (vibrant) and to be honest the evo is a slow dog compared to the galaxy phones, and t mobile usually has great customer service. I went with sprint becuase it was easier for me and my family with their family deals. As for tmobiles mobile service, I live just outside Detroit, and i have the screenshots from my vibrant using quadrant scoring and the phone was awesome, the data network without using wifi was faster than both an AtnT iphone 4 and a EVo as for money and more bang for your buck i would say Tmobile IMHO
[EVO 4G General] thlinx:
I live in Denver as well! Where are these stores you are talking about?
[EVO 4G General] omair2005:
easy. Samsung Galaxy II. Best phone. period.
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
The one on 2nd and Milwaukee in cherry creek is by far the best, those guys are super cool. The other one is in Westminster but I don't remember the street.

[EVO 4G General] stretchwookie:
Ohhh ok ya I have seen this. From what I read, someone at one of the jumped the gun. They had that same story on engadget, and then a day or two later one that repealed it. Its supposedly not a galaxy phone, just a nice big samsung. Sprints sgs2 has already been FCC approved, no keyboard
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
I talked to a Sprint Rep last week (Who has a rooted Evo running Synergy) and he told me his wife has the Sensation and it's "pretty damn sweet" (his words)
[EVO 4G General] tropicalbrit:
Galaxy S II with keyboard? Sure, there was a leak on AT&T, but they said it wasn't the Galaxy S II but instead a different phone.

T-Mobile: LG G2X or HTC Sensation (get a new G2X, shipped with Gingerbread)

Verizon: Droid Charge or wait for the Bionic (wait for the Bionic)

AT&T: Samsung Infuse

Just wait for the Galaxy S II. Please don't go AT&T either.

I'm looking for anyone on the stock build specifically for listening to music offline.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nocode99:
I figured it out. You are allowed up to 8 authorized devices to play music from. Since I was flashing/reflashing so many times, I had my old device listed in there. Go into Google Chrome settings and just remove any unwanted devices. Music is now downloading offline for me.

It'd be nice if there was some kind of notification.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] MJL99:
Anyone got invites for this or is only google sending out invites?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nocode99:
Some users will get 2 invites (which I've already used). If you sign up, it shouldn't take too long. I think i got mine within a week or so
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kingsway8605:
Amazons music player destroys googles option. Lock screen controls, eq, more control over offline selection, store, and a lot more stable. Use that if you want a cloud player.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] franklin270h:
Agreed, though Google's looks a lot nicer/has more potential

I think Google might take a different strategy more along the lines of streaming similar to Spotify (or at least I hope). Hence, pinning for offlline.

That said, Amazon's has the one big advantage of letting you redownload your music rather than just pin it in a cache.
[Galaxy S II General] Roman5:
This phone is awesome as we know. But why did Samsung not make it possible to backup everything on the phone without the need to root before you can use an app like Titanium Backup? Surely backing up is a basic requirement of any phone? I was able to do nightly backups with spb backup on my touch diamond. Or am I missing something and there's a way to backup everything without being rooted?
[Galaxy S II General] halfman21:
you could use https://market.android.com/details?id=com.BackMaster

hope this helps
[Galaxy S II General] omrij:
There is no way to backup application data without root

everything else you can backup with kies or by syncing with google
[Galaxy S II General] Roman5:
That backup app looks quite good. But I wonder if it backs up memos I created.
[Galaxy S II General] Roman5:
I'm aware you're correct, but that's ridiculous on samsung's part, or maybe it's an android thing. The SGS2 is MILES ahead technologically than my HTC Diamond, yet you can't do something as simple as backup app data without rooting, where I could on the diamond. It's as though samsung suggests that you invalidate your warranty if you would like to backup your phone.
[Galaxy S II General] Archer:
It is an Android thing, and has absolutely nothing to do with Samsung. It's the same on all Android phones, and it's for a reason. If you didn't need root access to gain access to app data then all your sensitive information would be accessible to every single app you installed. Obviously, that wouldn't be good.
[Galaxy S II General] omrij:
That's not true

Apple's ios can backup application data without compromising your privacy
[EVO 4G General] daoliverio:
Anybody body else really bored since they can't root? I use to flash something different two-three times per week on my hero...now i'm bored.

Don't get me wrong. I enjoy the phone for the most part and it's a HUGE step beyond my hero. If I could have my upgrade back I would get something else...sadly i'm poor and don't want to shove out the full price or buy anything off ebay (i've been banned from there since 2003...long story).

Anyways...just venting...feel free to post whatever if you're bored.

[EVO 4G General] Sry0fcr:
Don't you have 30 days to return the phone? Take it back and get NS4G or something.
[EVO 4G General] daoliverio:
I kno, I kno. Im still holding out hope for root for evo tho.

Let's GOOOO Mountaineers!
[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
Why don't you just get the 3D or something? It's rooted now, so you get a better phone AND the ability to play with ROMs. I know I wouldn't be waiting around for the EVO to be rooted if I had the opportunity for a better phone...
[EVO 4G General] daoliverio:
I talked to sprint and they said that since I used my upgrade I couldn't return this phone and get the upgraded price again. Can't afford the 3d

Let's GOOOO Mountaineers!

[Samsung Infuse 4G] jesi.james:
That should be the stock msg app. Just freeze it with Titanium Backup if you have it and if you dont, you could just add a letter or something to its file extension. I dont know where exactly its located though for you to do that so just snoop around with root explorer till you find it

How is the Video playback on our Sensation?

I'm currently at Android Revolution HD Rom.

And I can run some 720P 600MB MKV BDRIPs

But when I tried a 1.5GB 720P MP4 File it won't work and the phone seems lags/freezes. Black screen no sound

Btw I'm using Mobo Player

Anyone can recommened a better player?

I just want to test the power of Sensation plus the large screen with qHD Resolution is really a great treat.
[HTC Sensation] flipmatthew:
Diceplayer is the best
[HTC Sensation] gr3yh0und:
Will Try this one. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] gr3yh0und:
Still the same man. Got
[HTC Sensation] steve austin:
in the same boat....

i made a thread about this a few days ago. I hate to keep comparing this phone to my hd2, but this one does not handle simple processes fluidly like that one did. the hd2, once you had the right player, handled all codecs properly and it did not matter how big the file was. I played a 2 gig Watchmen .avi movie and had NO hiccups. I have gone through 5 players to try and find the one that will handle movies smoothly. None works as it should. I did not have to convert movies either. This is really irritating me.
[HTC Sensation] ssh678:
Try arcmedia. It's the only player that won't cut off sound when I watch a movie for nor than 5 minutes. Ive tried 11-12 players and this is the only one that worked.

Hope it helps
[HTC Sensation] DarthLuca:
i am using DicePlayer 1.1.3. It is hardware accelerated and I can play 720p TVShow mkv (1,09GB each) flawlessly. 720p and 1080p mp4 can play in default media player app. I have even tried 1080p mkv, file was source.code.2011.BluRay.1080p.DTS.x264-CHD DicePlayer handled it wery well without any lag and video & DTS audio in sync all the way.

I dont know if I am allowed to attach apk's, if I am I will attach the file later...
[HTC Sensation] gr3yh0und:
HW Acceleration don't work. Using Dice Player 1.1.4, Just blackscreen but the seek is still counting, with no sound. With Software Acceleration tried it on MoboPlayer. It got video but the sound is ugly fcked up
[HTC Sensation] juami:
newset diceplayer version is v1.5.2

try diceplayer trial version.
[HTC Sensation] FilipC:
I bought vplayer at first, but because it only used SW rendering the quality was far from great. Then I bought Dice player, as it supported HW acceleration. I've had my share of problems with it, but it was definitely worth it. Updates almost daily removed the crash after 5 minutes, improved the interface, added better subtitle support. I don't understand, why people mention the version 1.1.4, which is quite old. If you base your decision on such an old version you're making a mistake. There's really a huge difference since then and the program is updated very often.

Picture quality is just awesome and I managed to play everything so far. Didn't try HD yet, as I only have limited card space.
[HTC Sensation] steve austin:
so its not just me....

From looking at all the responses it appears that some of us are having a problem with the way the Sensation is handling video playback. I have already paid for apps that worked on a lesser phone. This is a real concern to me.
[Thrive General] virgo wattson:
I currently use an old version of QiK that i was using on my old viewsonic gtablet (R.I.P viewsonic gtablet:o). however its not really reliable, for starters i can only answer calls in landscape for some odd reason it force closes in portrait mode. i tried the other major vid chatting apps (tango, skype, gvtk) their were all epic fails. is there an app that um not yet aware of that works better ?
[Thrive General] Middle of nowhere Texas:

[HTC Sensation] sromer:
nope, haven't had any reception/signal issues at all.
[HTC Sensation] sbihue:
I believe the death-grip affects your wi-fi signal. When I move my phone to landscape mode and hold it as indicated in some videos, momentarily a bar goes down in my wifi signal but nothing like an interuption. It doesn't drop (and reconnect) wifi either.

It seems to be a hit or a miss with these phones
[HTC Sensation] MonkeyK:
This is why I'd really like it if someone who replaces their battery cover could post before and after wifi signal strength from the same location. It is possible that there has been a redesigned battery cover with a better antenna placement.
[HTC Sensation] Flashindude:
I only lost 1 signal bar so i think its normal - like other phones
[HTC Sensation] silentsnow31802:
I am currently having a HUGE problem with death grip. So bad that it drops my WiFi calling when im texting in landscape even from about 15 feet from my router. I am going to call HTC tomorrow and request a new back cover just because its a free step I can take to try and fix it.

seems like HTC have a problem with this model

i have to wait 7 days for my Sensation to come from service

then i will see what is the next step... media, solicitor .... we will see

[HTC Sensation] sbihue:
ok... so after reading your post I decided to test it out. My router is on the 2nd floor in the study. I used landscape mode to send a couple of emails and texts from the first floor and outside my home. The signal dropped a couple of bars each time and recovered. Didn't drop the wifi signal for sure.

I think it is still a problem and HTC needs to get a fix out. Don't know if it will be a f/w or h/w but it needs to be out. I guess if everyone having this issue raises enough hell, HTC may act sooner.
[HTC Sensation] DANOFDANGER:
The 4g phones seem to have a different placement of the wifi antenna and does not contain a death grip like problem due to this reposition.
[HTC Sensation] Flashindude:
You can higher the wifi signal (battery usage) in the wifi advanced settings.

Doesn´t help anyway?
[HTC Sensation] jjcobm:
All sensations will do this. Rooting the phone and installing custom ROM will fix the issue. Before if i placed my hand over the top of the phone, wifi would drop, sometimes even lose signal entirely. Now after root and ROM, it doesn't even drop one bit.

I was about to return my phone due to this issue, i am glad I waited a bit.
